to be honest i have a lot more confidence in chuck hagel than the president when it comes to defense. there is so much instability in the world. when you look at egypt and libya and syria and iran, rapidly moving toward a nuclear bomb, to some sense to say we're in this post war era where things are rosie i think is wrong. we always need to be prepared. >> the point is what we need in terms of what we need in terms of how we deal with the changing threats is different. maybe what we don't need is thousands of troops but we need a smaller complement of troops and we need to have a strategy that also includes, you know, civilian as well as a state department as well as intelligence forces working together in a very different way than we've seen before to confront these new challenges. >> karen finney, john brayvender, we are out of time. thanks to both of you. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> while we keep our eye on that ceremony at the pentagon, let's check the news feed this morning. startling new video from that fatal hot air balloon crash in egypt yesterday. a witness captured th

the one we may face within months. >> i know chuck hagel and know him well. i know he's going to sit down, and he's going to do exactly what peter said. he's going to come out with a plan. he's going to communicate with the soldiers in the field. he's going to remind them he was a sergeant, too, and he is going to implement the president's policy of shifting out of the wars we're engaged in now and sorting out other priorities. i think my estimate of this is that he's going to come out with a very, very good and confident looking strategy for the military and its priorities and how to responsibly handle what likely are to be sizable cuts. so he's going to do it, but people in the gop are saying that he's going to have to reinvent their relationship with them. i think it's the other way around. i grew up in oklahoma. my parents are in texas. these places have bases, defense contractors. now, hagel will be judicious. he's not going to hold anything against them, but their constituents are going to want -- can you talk to chuck hagel about our base? can you talk

chuck hagel had the majority support, all the republicans in the senate, and the majority. it took this long to get him confirmed because republicans filibustered his nomination. nobody has ever done that before. nobody has ever before used a filibuster to block the confirmation of a cabinet nominee, ever in the history of our country, but they did it to chuck hagel. why? who knows? republicans in the senate pulled the fire alarm on this one, they broke glass in case of emergency. they did something that has never been done before in the history of the republic. and because they did it, there is now precedent for them to filibuster the next nominee. they broke glass for a nominee who in his case had bipartisan support to be confirmed. and the republicans in the senate did it in a way that didn't actually stop the confirmation. so you won nothing. but you did further break the institution where you work. there is an effort already under way to try to cover this up to say republicans did not really filibuster chuck hagel but they didn't really break the precedent here, and so

another example is that several conservative outlets kept rep t repeating that chuck hagel would not be confirmed. he was going down in defeat. some of them were stunned when he was confirmed fairly easily. no, it isn't serving the republican party or its voters very well to have them served a steady diet of things that are simply factually untrue. people like joe scarborough and david frum and a few others are trying to get them to come to their senses. wake up. we need to have, live in a reality based universe. >> now, when you look at the fact that the president himself said last month that fox and rush are helping to create gridlock in washington is not only hurting the party, it's hurting the country. look what the president said. it says, if a republican member of congress is not punished on fox or by rush limbaugh for working with a democrat on a bill or common interest, then you'll see more of them doing it. i mean, isn't that the real problem he's raising there? republican politicians are controlled by far right talkers who care more about ratings than they do about the peop
